My first known Lewis ancestor was James LEWIS who was born 14-Feb-1730 Oxfordshire, England; married 5-Sep-1753 to Martha COLLIINS (1731-1809); and died 24-Jan-1820 in North Greenbush, Rensselaer, NY.  I am descended from him through Eli LEWIS (1762-1850) who married Oliver PARKER (1765-1842) to their daughter Martha J. LEWIS (1801-1851) who married Zenas ROBBINS Jr. (1801-1881).  Any information you may have on these individuals is appreciated.

Hello Damita. 

I am not sure the Henry Lewis line does connect to the Warner-Lewis line.

  I have Henry Lewis Sr., (abt 1700 -1785, married Martha Kendall, and lived in Spotsylvania County, Virginia as parents of Henry Lewis, who married Ann Buford. Documents in Spotsylvania County indicate there was a Henry Lewis Sr..

Other researchers say Henry Sr. was born 1699, Christ Church, Middlesex, Virginia, but I have not seen that document.  There is a claim that Henry's father was Henry Lewis, b. 1668, Lancaster County, Virginia.  I have seen no documents supporting this claim.

Hello all does anyone know how Henry Lewis (my 4th gGrandfather) b. 1724 VA  md. Anne Buford and this line of Lewis' are connected to the Warner Hall Lewis'? someone had sent me something on email stating this but I'm just starting my research so I'm seeking any help of my Lewis line and family history. I'm looking forward to connecting and meeting more of my family on here.

I have just scratched the surface of my Lewis line:

 

John LEWIS (b. c1755 - d. 1822) m. Elizabeth (unk) (b. c1757 - d. 1872). As of 1820 they were in Mill Creek, Hamilton, Ohio.

Children:

1. Elizabeth LEWIS (b. c1790 Ireland - d. aft.1860) m. Anthony HERRINGTON (b. c1797 - d. 1831).  They are my g-g-g-grandparents  They lived in Mill Creek, Hamilton, Ohio.  Elizabeth moved to Belle Prairie, Livingston, Illinois sometime after 1850 and lived with her son Robert B. HARRINGTON.

2. Robert LEWIS

3. John LEWIS

4.Mary LEWIS ( -1854) m. Daniel TITUS

5.Louise/Lewis LEWIS

 

As you can tell, I have a lot to learn about them.

Hello Michael, 

Besides having Lewis in Virginia, I have a direct line to Thomas Lodowyck Lewis /Lewes born about 1628, unknown place.  He married Geesje Barents abt 1661 in Albany, New York.  He was a mariner from around New Amsterdam.  I have been wondering if he was a son of Edmond Lewes.  I descend from Thomas' daughter, Catherina, who married Laurens / Lawrence Thomaszen Popinga (Parrot in Dutch).  I have information on related people.  Descendants of Thomas Lewis in my line migrated to New Jersey, and very many years later they were in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.  I have thought Thomas Lewis was a dissenter in his religious views, but his wife and family were members of the Reformed Dutch Church.  One of his children married in the French Church.  I do not believe he was Welsh.  I do not believe he was Irish, as I have seen mentioned.  Thomas' son, also named Thomas was also a mariner.  He signed on with the privateer / pirate Tew.

Hi Deb:

As you'll notice I responded to your posts about Edmond Lewes below. Much of what you wrote is confirmed in my research, except the Welsh origin and connection with the Warner Hall Lewis's. The Lewis line descending from Edmond Lewes of Lynn, Massachusetts is completely different from the line that led to the Warner Hall Lewis line.
